This is my blog. I speak for no one but myself here. The words I write, the images I post, and the articles I link to interest no one but me. I stand by what I put here, however, it is not a reflection of time, effort, or particular care. I just want a clearinghouse of what does interest me and a space to spout out poorly written and thoughtout rants. Consider this a disclaimer.

I listened to a lot of what one could call ambient this year. It helped. Repost because I left my absolutely favorite album of 2020 off the list by mistake. #FavoriteAlbumsOf2020

While finishing up our holiday shopping, Laurie and I stopped by @rareformbrewco to pick up some provisions for the week. We decided to enjoy the outdoor seating, in December, and a beverage. This is my “supporting a local business” photo for my notional political campaign. (πŸ“Έ by @library_shoes)

Grandma Pie. Largely because I did not want to have to dick around with peel and a stone. I just wanted some pizza. Sambal mixed into the sauce added a depth of flavor and heat that was appreciated.

Sandwich bread. If we are going back to March and April, we may as well enjoy our bread.

First day of early voting in NYS. In RensCo, these are the locations & the times and dates for EV. Below was my second attempt to vote at the Town of Brunswick Town Hall location. Voting is the bare minimum of civic engagement. Make a plan. Take a friend. Vote. (Or don’t. You have your reasons. Participatory democracy may not be your thing.)

And I made sure to grab a fresh & clean @buffofficial today. Also, it was the first time that I used an AI trainer that was keying on my pace for intervals and it wasn’t as weird as I expected. #FatGuyRunning

Because it was early and chilly enough, I knew I wasn’t going to see anyone on my run this morning, so I did not bring a mask. I grabbed this buff that was nicely folded and threw it in my belt in case I wanted or needed something. Anyway, I finished my run and decided to put it on. I should have done the sniff test and not assumed that because it was folded that it was clean. #FatGuyRunning

Back in college, a couple of us would road trip to Bennington for provisions. We would stop at JC’s Tavern because they had volleyball and a dirtbar feel. It’s been a long time since @unioncollege and there is a new partnership at the location. @thedutchmanstavern has a great name, great food, and fabulous service. @library_shoes and I stopped by on Monday afternoon. Outdoor seating available and spectacular COVID precaution enforcement.

A couple of weeks ago, @semi_rad posted about a limited edition signed print. I thought it was great but too indulgent for me. Flash forward to last week. @library_shoes gets me the Ultra Fun Venn t-shirt as a birthday gift. I mention the limited edition print. Yesterday, she hands me this. I am delighted and she knows me really well. She had anticipated that I would covet this. Thank you, babe.
